The Bubur Ayam is creamy and flavourful, enhanced by the fried shallots. At $3.50, it's reasonably priced.

Nasi ayam with the sambal hijau (green chili) is very nice! My colleagues find it spicy, but it's great for me who likes it hot. Chicken is deep-fried crispy and shiok, and the rice is fragrant. Service is great. The abang was apologetic that the chicken had run out and asked if I could wait 5 minutes for the next batch, which I gladly did. Prices are reasonable for the portion. On another visit, I ordered the bubur ayam, which is porridge with shredded chicken meat, and I saw many people ordering it. Comfort food with bits of chicken meat, nice! I also got an extra plate of white steamed chicken on the side.

Nasi Ayam goreng with sambal hijau is a must-try! Everything is perfectly cooked and well-seasoned.

The Nasi Ayam Goreng with sambal hijau is a must-try! Everything is perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. The rice is fragrant and tasty, the chicken skin is crispy, and the meat is juicy. The soup is a great way to wash away the spicy chili.
